A Corbin man was airlifted to the University of Kentucky Medical Center following a six-vehicle chain-reaction wreck at the intersection of U.S. 25E and Ohler Road Tuesday morning.

Twenty-six-year-old Justin Hamblin is listed in fair condition. Two other individuals, 25-year-old Jenna Noe of Harlan and 38-year-old John Stratman of Richmond were taken by ambulance to Baptist Health Corbin.

Corbin Police Lieutenant Glenn Taylor said the wreck occurred about 7:30 a.m. on south U.S. 25E when Hamblin came upon a line of cars sitting at the traffic light.

“Witnesses said he (Hamblin) was travelling at a high rate of speed,” Taylor said. “I don’t know if he didn’t realize they were completely stopped.”
